about

Drafted in Spring-Summer of 2012, as an ambient reduction of all six sides of the Verdant Acre vinyl source combined, and intended to be cast as a tonal backdrop for the shifting endless rhythms of Verdant Overgrowth. Initially kept isolated only for personal home listening, I was persuaded to release this by close friend/collaborator/confidante Eric Adrian Lee, as a part of an as-yet-unnamed catalog of minimalistic ambient music at his WR label in Portland.

Like many things, and with many artists, time goes by, and after a couple years Verdant Dusk settled into a darkened corner of my studio's storage, along with untold hours of other unfinished or unreleased things. Only now, in 2017, with the recent crop of Verdant Acre reissues and expansions, will Verdant Dusk have its moment.

Musically, Verdant Dusk applies a method of working and thinking that is not otherwise present on the Verdant Acre volumes, in that it exists solely in a mode of support, and was created without any notion of rhythm or even musicality. It is the sonic equivalent of a smear of purples and blues along a horizon line, as the clouds give way to a darker background, the color of nightfall.

This isolated notion of the Verdant Acre vinyl source being transmuted into fully beatless atmosphere was one I could not repress, after a few years of playing Verdant Dusk at night while I passed out reading, and so recording work resumed sometime in 2015 on a much larger effort. The fruits of those efforts became Verdant Night, issued concurrently with Verdant Dusk, as a sort of micro/macro-cosmic statement on the fluidity of time, and how meaningless time itself ultimately is outside of man-made systems. In nature, sounds exist in space. Time pulses out of focus. Night, unending.
